Lafayette council to weigh abatements

ON THE AGENDA

The Lafayette City Council will consider four-year contracts with city employees' unions or associations. They also will consider whether to approve tax abatements for Alcoa, Wabash National, Rea Magnet Wire and Heartland Automotive.

BACKGROUND

The employee contracts are essentially the same as the previous contracts. The most notable change is the employee grievance process. Wages and benefits are not specified in the contracts since those are set by ordinance.

The Alcoa Inc. and Heartland Automotive abatement requests are for 10-year abatements on real estate and equipment. The Wabash National and Rea Magnet Wire requests are for seven-year abatements for equipment.

TIME, PLACE

The Lafayette City Council meets at 7 p.m. Monday

The meeting is in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 20 N. Sixth St., Lafayette, and is open to the public.
